The case stemmed from an Aug. 26, 2012, traffic stop by Long Beach police at 11:45 a.m., when officers pulled over a Chevy Malibu that had been seen speeding and driving recklessly. Officials initiated the stop when Williams, later identified as the driver of the car, ran a stop sign, according to officials.

Williams kept driving at a high rate of speed in an attempt to evade police until he careened into two parked cars, police said. Williams then ran from the scene on foot and was able to escape arrest.

Three days later, Williams called LBPD to report his car had been stolen. When detectives ran the car’s vehicle identification number, they discovered the car had been involved in the evasion and began an investigation.

Charges were later filed against Williams by the Long Beach City Prosecutor’s Office.

“This is a serious crime,” City Prosecutor Doug Haubert said in a statement. “People need to be held accountable for their behavior, and I am glad the jury returned guilty verdicts on all charges.”

Williams endangered the public and officers in his crimes, said Deputy City Prosecutor Ryan Sanders, who prosecuted the case.

“Our next priority is ensuring the victims recover fully from the damages cause by his crime,” Sanders said.

Prosecutors will request at Wednesday’s hearing that Williams be required to pay restitution to those who owned cars that he hit. He also faces 27 months in county jail and fines of $2,000. He will be sentenced at the Long Beach Courthouse.
